Laptop and Multiple Displays: Window Management on OS X
Posted: October 14, 2010 Filed under: apps | Tags: mac, os x, stay, window management 1 Comment »This is a followup to a previous post about window management tools for OS X.
I’ve recently started using a 2nd external monitor connected to my laptop (using Plugable’s DisplayLink Adapter). Since I was switching from laptop only to laptop + 2 external displays at least once a day, I needed to figure out a way to save/restore applications and windows positions.
I was really happy to discover Stay, a pretty good app that does just that (30 day trial, $15 for the full version).
Great window management tools for OS X

- Shift It enables easy moving and resizing of windows using the keyboard (expands the concept of Aero Snap)
- Afloat will let you keep windows on top, adjust window transparency and much more.
In case you’re wondering, they’re both free and open source.
